Rhea-AI Filing Summary

SYNAPTICS Inc executive Vikram Gupta reported an open-market sale of 1,548 shares of Common Stock at $80.95 per share. The sale was made under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan dated March 14, 2024, indicating it was pre-scheduled rather than opportunistic.

Separately, 5,518 shares were withheld by the company at $80.22 per share to cover tax obligations tied to restricted stock unit settlement, which is a non-market, mechanical disposition. After these transactions, Gupta directly holds 88,930 SYNAPTICS common shares, so the sale represents a small portion of his overall position.

  • None.

Negative

  • None.

Insights

Small, largely routine insider sale with tax withholding and a pre-set plan.

The filing shows Vikram Gupta executed an open-market sale of 1,548 SYNAPTICS common shares at $80.95 per share. This was done under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan dated March 14, 2024, meaning the trade was pre-arranged rather than timed reactively.

In addition, 5,518 shares were disposed of to satisfy tax withholding obligations at $80.22 per share, which is a standard, non‑discretionary mechanism when restricted stock units settle. Gupta still directly owns 88,930 shares after these transactions, so the net sale is a small fraction of his visible equity stake.

The combination of a modest sale size, continued large holding, and 10b5-1 plan context points to routine portfolio and tax management rather than a significant change in insider sentiment. Future Forms 4 will provide further visibility if trading activity materially increases.

Rule 10b5-1 Trading Plan regulatory
"The shares were sold pursuant to 10b5-1 Trading Plan dated March 14, 2024."
A Rule 10b5-1 trading plan is a pre-arranged schedule that allows company insiders to buy or sell stock at specific times, even if they have inside information. It helps prevent accusations of unfair trading by making these transactions look planned and transparent, rather than sneaky or illegal.
restricted stock units financial
"associated with the settlement of restricted stock units."
Restricted stock units are a type of company reward where employees are promised shares of stock, but they only fully own these shares after meeting certain conditions, like staying with the company for a set time. They matter because they can become valuable assets and are often used to motivate employees to help the company succeed.
tax withholding obligations financial
"withheld by the Issuer to satisfy certain tax withholding obligations"
open-market sale financial
"transaction_action": "open-market sale""
An open-market sale is when a shareholder sells existing shares directly on a public exchange to any willing buyer, rather than through a private deal. Think of it like putting goods on a busy market stall where price is set by supply and demand; for investors it matters because such sales increase available supply, can put short-term downward pressure on the stock price, and signal changes in liquidity or investor confidence.
tax-withholding disposition financial
"transaction_action": "tax-withholding disposition""
A tax-withholding disposition is an event or transaction—such as selling or transferring securities, exercising options, or receiving compensation—that triggers a requirement to hold back part of the payment and remit it to tax authorities. It matters to investors because it reduces the cash they receive immediately and can change the timing and amount of taxable income, like a cashier taking a portion of your sale proceeds to pay taxes before you get the rest.

FAQ

What insider transactions did Vikram Gupta report at SYNAPTICS (SYNA)?

Vikram Gupta reported selling 1,548 shares of SYNAPTICS common stock at $80.95 per share and a separate disposition of 5,518 shares for tax withholding at $80.22 per share. These transactions adjusted his direct holdings while largely reflecting routine portfolio and tax management.

How many SYNAPTICS (SYNA) shares does Vikram Gupta hold after this Form 4?

After the reported transactions, Vikram Gupta directly holds 88,930 shares of SYNAPTICS common stock. This remaining position indicates the 1,548-share open-market sale represents a small portion of his overall stake, with most of his equity exposure maintained following the filing.

Was Vikram Gupta’s SYNAPTICS (SYNA) share sale under a Rule 10b5-1 plan?

Yes. The Form 4 footnote states the 1,548-share sale was made pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan dated March 14, 2024. Such plans pre-schedule trades, reducing the likelihood that the timing reflects short-term views on SYNAPTICS’ share price.

What does the tax-withholding transaction in Vikram Gupta’s SYNAPTICS (SYNA) Form 4 mean?

The 5,518 shares were withheld by SYNAPTICS to satisfy tax obligations from settling restricted stock units. This F-code transaction is not an open-market sale, but a mechanical way to pay taxes due when equity compensation vests, reducing Gupta’s share count without cash proceeds to him.

How significant is Vikram Gupta’s SYNAPTICS (SYNA) share sale relative to his holdings?

Gupta sold 1,548 shares while retaining 88,930 shares afterward, so only a small fraction of his stake was sold. Combined with the pre-planned 10b5-1 arrangement, this suggests routine activity rather than a major repositioning of his SYNAPTICS exposure in this filing.
